Instructed Drivers: (Green, Yellow, Blue): $585
Instructors: $185 (one student) Discounts available for taking 2 students.
Note that if you are see that a group is waitlisted, sign up anyway. Student groups are kept artificially low until we get enough instructors sign up. Others that are waitlisted generally get in as well due to reschuffling of group assignments and cancellations. In general, if you sign up on Day 1 as soon as the event opens you will eventually get accepted. DO NOT sign up for another group just because yours was waitlisted (this just moves you to the bottom of the list). If you need to cancel from the event, you must do so on-line in your account.
